Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Starter Allowance

FIVE O' SOMEWHERE (3) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish third last start over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. AIR OF DEFIANCE (8) scored by 0.1 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Has a very good record here including four wins from seven starts. Bold showing expected. BOLD DIVERSION (4) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1207m at Laurel. One of the key contenders. DEFENDING ALBERT (14) resumed over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Should figure in the finish.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 38-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Keeneland on October 7 over 1609m defeating Global Sensation with 55.5kg at $3.02. Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 8 at this track on September 12 over 1811m, nose behind Fountain Run with 55.5kg at $6.26. Nice draw and worth thought.

The run before that came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track on September 13 over 1609m defeating Bebedouro with 55.5kg at $9.43.
